How to influence positive change.

 
 

If you woke up every morning and did a 15min burst for one month you would create positive change in your body.

Now imagine that you called five friends and asked them to join you for the next month. They’ll experience positive change and it was all because of you.

Your positive energy influenced positive change in others.

That old saying, “Be the change that you want to see” is 100% true.

We need more influential people leading others through their examples. Which is opposite from social media which is full of fakery and filters.

I want to tell you, yes you, how significant and important you really are. It’s not a coincidence, you’re reading this blogpost.

Change will happen. How it happens and how you react determines your outcome.

Step 1

Reflect on every person you admire.

What is it about that creator, author, actor, musician, educator, and so forth that you appreciate? Journal your answers.

I’m an admirer of Nainoa Thompson since meeting him back in the late 90’s. His tenacity pioneered the Hōkūle’a and opened the door for young Hawaiians to live their dreams.

Step 2

Why do you admire them?

Write down all the characteristics of that person(s). I’m asking you to dive deep into their temperament and nature.

We often admire individuals but don’t take time to consider why we think so highly of them.

I’ve always admired Oprah and then I started to ask myself why? Then I realized that it was her self worth. It helped me to cultivate my own.

 
 

Step 3

Do they have characteristics you would like to emulate?

After writing down the things you admire about them choose three that really stand out. What three do you resonate with?

The qualities we appreciate in successful people always come with a price. It could be in the form of a lesson, heartbreak, and even tragedy. Yet somehow they made it through and came out on top.

Learning from someone else’s experiences provides time-saving shortcuts.

 
 

Step 4

Become a student, learn, and embody.

If you obsess over good quality, good vibes, and good role models you’re likely to become one yourself.

No one is truly self made, each of us have a unique genome that we didn’t create but are the recipients of our ancestors. We embody their past experiences. On the same note we can add to our genes through learning. The new Information you gain becomes part of you and will influence the next generation.

 
 

Step 5

Character building takes time.

Continue the process of study, learn, embody and witness the unfolding of wonderful experiences.

If you want to improve your family life, work place, or beyond, you must embody positive change before it is able manifest in your environment.

We need more agents of positive change and I hope you're ready for the challenge.
